✨ DRESSED AROUND THE WORLD | PART 2 ✨
You saw how we made it… now for the big reveal.
For this year’s IIDA Georgia DRESSED, our team took a little trip to Japan — transforming wallcovering, fabric, trim and tile into a one-of-a-kind runway look. And we’re thrilled to share that we came home as 1st Runner-Up!
Inspired by Japan’s deep connection to the sea and the Rising Sun, with Ryūjin, the legendary Dragon King of the tides, at the heart of our story, our design explored the balance between the beauty and power of the ocean through flowing waves, shimmering textures and structured forms.
And we couldn’t have done it without our amazing industry partners:
✨ Arte | Wallcovering — Stacy Costa & Eric Edgar
✨ Fabricut | Fabric & Trim — Mike Bowden
✨ Trinity Surfaces | Tile — Katie Godfrey
Thank you for giving us the materials, trust and creative freedom to take design somewhere a little unexpected. We had an absolute blast bringing our vision of Japan to the runway! 🇯🇵
And a huge thank you to IIDA Georgia for another unforgettable DRESSED! 🫶
